Ways to create a work-life balance while working from home

[Urvashi]

Clear boundaries, scheduled breaks, and a defined end time saved my sanity. It’s easy to let work spill over.
What helps you unplug after remote work hours? Do you stick to a set schedule?

I worked from home for years. I tried to leave it alone outside normal office hours but was not always able. My personal cell phone being my voice contact was a bigger issue, even interrupting vacations. Being empty nesters helped us. My wife was always good about leaving me alone if I was busy unless there was an immediate need.

I have been working from home for more than 12 years. Having a working space (as opposed to working form anywhere you want) will help you stay focused and also scheduling task and having a family time will make life interesting

I set clear work hours, take real breaks, and create a separate workspace. I try not to check emails after hours and make time for hobbies or walks. Boundaries really help me breathe.
